Gurbani Raag:Bhairon

Bhairon was an important
raga at the time of Guru Nanak and has continued to retain its
significance and popularity.
Bhairon (not to be confused with Bhairavi) appears in the Rdgrnala
as husband of Bhairavi and four other rdginis. Today it is the
head
rdga for one of the ten thatas. The Rdga Sdgara, a treatise of
circa 8th century, describes this rdga as awe-inspiring and as
expressing
the fulfilment of the desire of worship. Mesakarna (1509) calls
this morning melody of the autumn season one of awesome grandeur.
Performed before sunrise, this raga was used by Guru Nanak, Guru
Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, and Gurft Arjan for 99 hymns.

Aroh : Sa Re, Ga Ma Pa Dha, Ni Sa

Avroh : Sa Ni, Dha Dha Pa, Ma Ga, Re Re Sa

Vadi : Dha

Samvadi : Re

The vadis are performed
with a slow, wide vibrato which may begin with the vadi itself
or the highest limit to which
it will extend. In descent the vibrato must begin with upper limit.
Otherwise Bhairon has few characteristic phrases.

The etymology of the term 'gurdwara' is from the words 'Gur (ਗੁਰ)' (a reference to the Sikh Gurus) and 'Dwara (ਦੁਆਰਾ)' (gateway in Gurmukhi), together meaning 'the gateway through which the Guru could be reached'. Thereafter, all Sikh places of worship came to be known as gurdwaras.
